Boudoir

Time Out Says

When Boudoir opened its heavy glass doors in 2002, it was one of the places to see and be seen, and quickly developed into one of the city’s top clubs. Over the years it’s no secret that its popularity has waned slightly, due mainly to the abundance of other venues on the scene.

The club itself is compact but well-designed. The décor is glitzy without being tacky and a giant chandelier looms over the petite circular dancefloor. A raised DJ booth is visible from everywhere in the room, and the dancefloor is strategically contained by seating, meaning that if you’re at the bar you’re less likely to be jostled by a fellow nightowl pulling some overenthusiastic dance moves.

Some decent music is played, with some hip-hop and R&B crowd favourites, although the empty dancefloor is a bit of a shame. The night gradually picks up, but never quite verges on being full, despite the small space the club occupies, so the vibe just isn’t there. Perhaps it’s the time of the year, or the night we visit, but it would seem it’s not the super club it once was. The Bottom Line Good music and décor but lacking the draw it once had.
